See full text

A printing apparatus that is capable of reducing downtime caused by software update. A printing apparatus downloads update software for updating software installed therein, and updates the installed software using the downloaded update software. The update software is downloaded by background processing. It is determined whether or not predetermined processing is being performed when the update software is decompressed. When it is determined that the predetermined processing is not being performed, the downloaded update software is decompressed by background processing, and the installed software is updated using the decompressed update software.
